I have no objections to having OPTIONAL XS available to speed things up for people who want it. However I will not accept making XS a requirement. I thought that since Scalar::Util::weaken was in core that there would be no issues using it in a core module. If using weaken makes Test-Simple non-corable, then I will use a slightly alternate design. But I will wait for rjbs to weigh in on if Scalar::Util::weaken will block Test-Simple from core.
